The Cloze Procedure

Books.jpg


The Cloze Procedure is a valuable assessment tool for teachers. Teachers determine the frequency and then delete very nth word of a reading passage. Readers then have to read the text and insert a word that makes sense. The cloze procedure helps determine if a text is readable to a student and can help determine if a certain reading level is on target for a particular student.
Here is an example:
